Fares
Capital Metro is always a good value, but if you are a regular rider, chances are we have a special pass or discount package that will save you even more.
Your fare buys you convenient, safe transportation to your destination, up to and including the end destination for that route. Once the bus or train reaches the end of the line, you may be asked to exit the vehicle and catch the next route, if needed. A single ride rail ticket entitles you to ride the train and a rail connector bus route within two hours; it is not valid on any other bus services.
